Abstract: Since the viscosity-temperature relationships of fluorocarbons are somewhat unusual, when compared to hydrocarbons, for example, it was decided to measure the viscosities, at several temperatures, of various fluorolube oils. The calculation of the viscosity of a blend of oils is at best an uncertain operation, varying considerably with the method used. A comparison of various methods was indicated, in order that reasonably accurate values might be assumed for theoretical composites. The densities were measured at corresponding temperatures for use in converting viscosities, and for their value, per se.

From abstract: "Using the method of induced radioactivity, the capture cross section of Pb[^]208 for C neutrons is found to be .00045 ± .00015 x 10[^]-24 cm[^]2. This is definitely lower than the value of .001 x 10[^]-24 reported by Maurer and Ramm."

From abstract: "Frequently it has been desirable to prepare pure anhydrous metal fluorides. Several general methods have proved satisfactory depending on the type of fluoride to be prepared."

Abstract: Measurements are reported of the solubility of uranyl sulfate in water at several temperatures, of the density of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration, of the variation of density of uranyl sulfate solutions of three different concentrations over a temperature range from 0[degree]C. to about 93[degree]C., and of the pH of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration as well as of temperature. The pH measurements were taken on uranyl sulfate samples prepared in several different ways and some conclusions are drawn as to the purity of theses samples.

From abstract: "This paper gives a method for determining Uranium using sodium cresotate as a colorimetric reagent. A precision is obtained of better than 2%. In carrying out analyses for Uranium in corrosion products by existing methods such as ignition to the oxide, silver reductor, or titration with ceric sulfate, it became apparent that a rapid, fairly accurate method for determining uranyl ion would be of great value. Such a method is described in this paper. The most logical color to use is that given by the ferrocyanide complex, but upon studying this, it proved to be unsatisfactory. Sodium salycilate also gives a color which has been used with some success, but its color appears to fade and is not very sensitive. A similar compound, sodium cresotate, was found to give an orange-red color and is the reagent used in the method to be described."
